How well does HC-110 Equivlilent work??

[Helios 1984]

So apparently FPP-110 juice is relabeled SP-110EC which is distributed by Dead Link Removed.

Here's what they say on their site:

" Okay, we can't claim this is exactly equivalent to Kodak's original formula; nor can we claim you'll get exactly the same results. But it's darn close.
Use just like you would the old stuff. Except you don't need to bother with the syringes and intermediate dilutions. Just mix straight from the bottle: 15ml + 465ml water (standard dilution.) You can vary the concentration to adjust contrast. "

Fair enough.

I dont see any reason NOT to use HC-110 if that's the type of developer that you are looking for. The cost of this chemical is very cheap and it's phenomenally easy to use.

My primary developer is HC-110. I have used the Legacy 110 product. The Legacy product is aqueous based and easier to mix, but I haven’t noticed any major differences at dilution B. My bottle of Legacy L-110 lasted me 11 months with no loss in quality.

What component of HC-110 drives this cost?

It is the adducts with DEA for sodium sulfite and potassium bromide. These are not off-the-shelf chemicals and must be made using special equipment,
